The member's legal representatives in this case were informed that it was proposed to refuse his application under the Garda Síochana (Compensations) Acts 1941 and 1945 on the basis that his injuries were of a minor character and were sustained in the course of the performance of a duty not involving special risk. In addition, the member was afforded the opportunity to forward further submissions on behalf of his application.

Correspondence was subsequently received from the member's solicitors and this is under consideration. A decision regarding this case will be made shortly.
